Low end machine and UFO AI 2.5 stable.
Now I realise that this is only my fourth post and it's been a week or so since my third... that's because having found out how to massage the difficulty in Notepad++ a little (a point or two here and a point or so less there, nothing major) I've been so engrossed in the game I've almost become absorbed...
Enough prattling, the problem I seem to be having is bloat, now maybe that isn't the right term but it's the one in my head, you see the further I go in the game 'a year now with 5 bases and a 120 employees stores getting overfull so I build another base with guards' all this has taken a toll on my load time 3-5 mins loadtime, is there any way besides scaling back my play style that I can speed up the load times, it's getting more important now as the further I get in the game the more serious a threat the Aliens see me as and respond accordingly... they come down and kick my butt/send even bigger ships... then I gotta reload and get even.
*Animations and all are running just fine no hiccups or lag at all, just longer load times
The machine I'm using at the moment is a P4 single core, 3.2, 2 gig Ram, Nvidia GS8400, Win 7 32bit and a windows experience rating 3.6.
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be grateful,
As ever Pete.
